Urge Senator Toomey to Support Senator Casey’s REVIVE the CCC Act

NOTE: We are thrilled to see this proposal introduced after Senator Casey promised it in a call with the Pennsylvania faith community in 2020.

From ReImagine Appalachia (https://reimagineappalachia.org/):

The original Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)—a work relief program created as part of the New Deal in 1933—left a profound impact on the US economy, civilian workforce, and national and state park systems. Over the course of a decade, the CCC employed three million people on conservation and infrastructure projects, which resulted in the planting of more than three billion trees and construction of trails and shelters in more than eight hundred parks nationwide.

Yesterday, Senator Bob Casey introduced the REVIVE the CCC Act (S.2414-not yet posted), which would revive the CCC and create tens of thousands of jobs in Appalachia alone. This bill could create opportunities throughout the region and forge a fair recovery by drawing in returning citizens and other underserved populations.

We need you to reach out to Senator Toomey today at https://secure.everyaction.com/MdwN3SdnRUKiCJY012KjYQ2 and ask him to support this bill!

P.S. ReImagine Appalachia, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Atlantic Council hosted a panel featuring Senator Bob Casey and other local experts talking about this bill that you can watch here!
